I got physically ill after seeing that, and of course ABC had to show it over and over and over.
I know. We had one particular guy watching that night, a somewhat-obnoxious Cowboys fan who was the loudest cheerer when LT sacked Joe—a big dude, 6’3”, 225, a weightlifter. After the third or fourth replay, he yelled “STOP IT!” and bolted out of the room like he was about to throw up.
Honestly, I’ve never watched the replay since on Youtube or anything like that. I just can’t stand watching that leg snap.
Theismann could be a first-class jerk sometimes, but the man was a good QB, and I hated to see him end his career in a freak accident like that. I did kind of feel for LT as well; he wasn’t knee-hunting, it was an accident, and we could tell it shook him up. It’s a damn shame that Taylor’s turned into a thug and a punch line, because he was something special on the field.
